Coil spring rear?
I know theres a handful of guys that have done coil springs in the rear on here and i have searched and read about it. I just wanna know what you guys think of your jeep know that its done, give me your opinions on it? Was it worth the time and $. I'm considering it but i know its a big pain in the ***.

From someone that hasn't done it, but wants to, I think that it really depends on what you want to do with your rig and how much time you have.
From what I have read, noone has regretted doing the coils in the rear.

Excellent advice.
You'll have to deal with lots of compromises .... pick the ones that are most important to you.

the point of control arms is to CONTROL FLEX.
I agree with 89eliminator...that is unsafe. that is too much flex for an xj, and the person who built it apparently knows nothing about limiting straps.
